SYNOPSIS
sif file...
AVAILABILITY
The Mjolner BETA Source Browser and Editor is available as
part of the Mjolner BETA System from Mjolner Informatics.
DESCRIPTION
Sif is a general structure editor, especially targeted for
browsing and editing BETA programs. Sif contains a number
of basic components: a source browser, a fragment group edi-
tor and a fragment form editor. Sif is integrated with the
BETA compiler beta (1). This integration gives a good sup-
port for locating and correcting semantic errors.
OPTIONS
(none)
ENVIRONMENT
sif recognizes the environment variable $BETALIB. Please
note that this variable is given default value in the Bourne
Shell script $BETALIB/configuration/env.sh
BETALIB
Specifies where ~beta is located. If not set, beta is
assumed to be a username, and ~beta being the home
directory of that user. Is used by many tools in the
Mjolner BETA System.
EDITOR
If specified, simple textediting (as opposed to struc-
ture editing) can be done using the text editor, speci-
fied by EDITOR. Simple textediting is activated using
the 'External textedit' command of the Edit menu of
sif. After textediting, the modified text is parsed ac-
cording to the corresponding syntactic category. E.g
emacs (1) can be used by setting EDITOR to
/usr/local/bin/emacsclient and starting emacs as a
server by emacs -f server-start.
